Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 31, 2026, as Overdose Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize August 31, 2026, as Overdose Awareness Day in New York. The resolution is intended to raise public awareness about drug overdoses and reduce the stigma surrounding them. It aligns with a global campaign that encourages communities to hold events, share information about prevention, and support affected families. The measure does not create new laws or programs; it simply requests an official state proclamation for the designated date.
